According to The Block, Panther Hollow Ventures, co-founded by former CFTC attorneys Eric Swartz and Jacqueline Escobar, has officially launched its multi-strategy commercial bank. The firm integrates venture capital, liquidity yield strategies, and protocol incubation, positioning itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance.

Panther Hollow's multi-strategy commercial bank will focus on promoting traditional financial interest rate and derivatives protocols across four major blockchains: Ethereum, Canton, Solana, and Starknet. The founders' regulatory background (ex-CFTC) adds credibility to the project's compliance approach, potentially accelerating the adoption of real-world assets (RWA) in on-chain derivatives.
